Legal Grounds
Nudist Resort's 'Bare Beach Beer Bash': Potential Legal Issues
By Jenny Tsay, Esq. on April 29, 2014 8:46 AM
While this post is safe for work, pictures from a Pennsylvania nudist resort's "Bare Beach Beer Bash" probably won't be.
The Sunny Rest Resort in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania is hosting its third nudity-required beer festival in June. Besides guzzling beer with your beer gut out, festival attendees will get to participate in other events, like naked Jell-O and pudding wrestling, according to United Press International.
While running around naked in the mountains for a day sounds like a good time, attendees and organizers still need to abide by the law.
'Bare' in Mind: Pennsylvania's Nudity Laws
Under Pennsylvania's indecent exposure laws, it's a crime if a person exposes his or her genitals in a public place or in any place where other people are present and the person knows that the exposure will offend others.
Violation of the nudity laws is a misdemeanor in the second degree in the state. In Pennsylvania, a misdemeanor in the second degree in will get you a fine of $100 or up to 20 days in jail. However, the penalty can be elevated to a misdemeanor in the first degree if a person exposes himself or herself to someone who's under the age of 16.
Being convicted of a misdemeanor in the first degree could result in a fine between $1,500 and $10,000 and/or imprisonment up to five years.
How the 'Bare Beach Beer Bash' Stays Legal
According to its website, Sunny Rest Resort is a clothes-free, private resort that's open to people of all ages. The resort rules also state that visitors can be nude anywhere inside Sunny Rest's property.
Since Sunny Rest isn't a public place, there likely won't be any indecent exposure issues. Plus, children who are at the resort are most likely there with their families, so offending nudist-friendly families isn't likely.
However, there may be premises liability concerns for the Beer Bash event. First, the resort needs to make sure that only people 21 and over are allowed to consume alcohol at the event. Second, it needs to check for any dangerous conditions on the property or it could be liable for injuries.
Finally, like a gym, the resort may have its attendees sign a liability waiver before allowing them to enter. Although liability waivers can prevent visitors from suing the resort if they get injured there, a court isn't likely to enforce the waiver if it's overly broad or its terms are against public policy.
With these legal considerations in mind, let's hope this year's nude beer bash attendees won't forget to pack the sunscreen.

More Weinergate Evidence Points to Weiner
Jim Hoft
On June 3, 2011, far left Rep. Anthony Weiner said his twitter and Facebook accounts were hacked. He said this after a picture of his penis was reportedly sent out to a young woman in Seattle. Here's her picture.
Today it was confirmed that the Weiner's penis tweet originated from an application that Rep. Weiner was using the night the tweet was posted.
The Daily reported:
As the world has attempted to make sense of Rep. Anthony Weiner's claim that his Twitter account was hacked, a key clue has been missing: exactly how the notorious groin pic was posted online. But according to data provided exclusively to The Daily from TweetCongress.org, a nonprofit website that captures each member of Congress's Twitter feeds in real time, the shot seen round the world was transmitted using TweetDeck — a popular Adobe desktop application that links up with social networking sites.
A review of Weiner's Twitter stream from May 27, the day of the crotch pic, shows that Weiner had been posting only from TweetDeck — one of many ways to post messages to Twitter — that entire night. Chet Wisniewski, a senior security adviser at security software company SophosLabs, said the TweetDeck stamp "does make it more plausible that it did come from him."
Weiner used TweetDeck frequently, but he often also posted from the Web directly or from his BlackBerry. A widely circulated explanation for how Weiner's Twitter account could have been hacked by email would also seem to be incompatible with the fact that the message in question originated on TweetDeck.
If email had been used, the message probably would have originated via the photosharing site Yfrog, where the infamous picture was posted. However, this information doesn't rule out the possibility that the congressman's Twitter account was infiltrated — as Weiner has publicly suggested. But experts say it adds another hurdle for an alibi that has come under increasing fire.
The Daily Mail has more on the scandal.

6 questions about Michelle Carter's conviction in the texting suicide trial, answered
Boston.com - 06/16/2017
Northeastern School of Law professor Daniel Medwed said he thinks it's unlikely that Carter will get the full sentence, given the unusual nature of the case.
"Classic manslaughter charges relate to direct action–a drunk driver killing a pedestrian or a person firing a gun recklessly into a crowd," he said before Moniz's decision. "Here, Carter's actions, as horrible as they were, were one step removed from Roy's death and perhaps the judge will show leniency."

ATP Indian Wells Masters 2019: Krajinovic Stuns Medvedev in Straight Sets
Tuesday, 12 March 2019, 7:44 pm Suneer Chowdhary
Filip Krajinovic stunned the 14th seeded Daniil Medvedev in straight sets to advance to the fourth round of the Indian Wells Masters on Tuesday.
Medvedev, who was 1/1 to win the match in straight sets, never settled down in any kind of rhythm and was beaten in straight sets. Krajinovic won 6-3, 6-2, to seal his place in round four where he will meet the winner of the Rafael Nadal-Diego Schwartzman encounter.
The match lasted all of 78 minutes before the Serbian clinched the tie.
While Medvedev served two aces to none from Krajinovic, his three double-faults also proved crucial. To go with that, the Russian struggled with his second serve, winning only 43% of those points as opposed to 68% for the Serb.
Krajinovic faced just two break-points in the entire match and saved both of them, and won 71% of his own service points as well.
This was the first meeting between the two players, who were separated in their ATP rankings by nearing 100 ranks. What would hurt Medvedev even more than just the loss will be the fact that after such a brilliant start to the season, having won the Sofia Open title and been runner-up at Brisbane, he has had back to back poor showings.
Medvedev went down in the first round at Dubai Open and here at the Indian Wells Masters, he survived just one round before losing to a way less fancied Krajinovic.

Had a terrible case of writer's block the last few days (Okay, weeks. I think Lisa, the publisher of Antioch Burns, was having conniption fits.) But seriously, nothing was working. I was really unfocused and could not connect one idea to another. So how did I break it? Well, I think it's a combination of factors, but here's what I've got so far.
Listened to classical music from Kingdom Of Heaven.
Alternatively, you could have also watched scenes from that, or any other movie/film connected to your genre.
Went for a walk. Without the iPod.
Breaking through netted me a sweet 1k words in Antioch Burns, plus a long range pat on the back from my publisher. 🙂 Anywho, short posting today. What else do you do to defeat writer's block?

What I Learned From Sex With A Younger Guy
Sheriden Chanel
Breaking up is always hard to do.
The dissolution of my last relationship was no doubt one of the most difficult things I've had to do in a minute. But it had to be done.
Love cannot thrive in a space where respect doesn't live.
And no matter how many times the man I loved claimed to love me, the clear and resounding truth was that he had no idea how to truly value me.
I was meek, I was weak, and the harder I held onto him, the more I lost the woman I had worked so hard to become. At the end of the day, it was either him or me, and I finally learned how to be strong enough to make and maintain my decision to stay away from a man that's purpose in my life had been fulfilled.
Nevertheless, the clarity and the peace that I felt soon after allowed me to make no apologies for it. Not a single regret. My sense of self-worth was back in full effect, my self-love was well underway, but my confidence was at an all-time low following the cycle of toxicity and emotional abuse that was my on-again off-again relationship with my ex.
I honestly didn't know what I needed after something like that, aside from alone time, my breakup playlists on repeat, and plenty of journaling and self-reflection. I was putting in the work to return to me, but I still felt somehow out of reach. I had no idea that not having any expectations about what I needed would lead me into the arms of a much younger man.
What's more, I had no idea that he'd come equipped with the exact remedy I needed to reconnect with the self I had lost.
It all started back in July. Our shared birthday weekend was the beginning of a lot of things, namely the spark of our connection. I felt it the moment our eyes met the night before, on the eve of his birthday festivities that a friend, his sister had invited me to. The party before the party. My birthday fell on Sunday and his that Saturday. I had absolutely no birthday plans for my 26th birthday but he had them all for his 20th. How could I say no?
Maybe it was my quarter-life crisis revving up to run wild, but I remembered him as the kid brother of one of my friends that I first met on New Year's Eve two years prior. Back then, he was 18 and I was in the limbo of a relationship so whatever attraction I felt came to an abrupt and speedy halt. But now, a blink away from 20, instead of a red light saying "stop," I only saw "proceed with caution." While we were on the river (celebrating his birthday), I admired his caramel skin and taut body while he walked around shirtless with an air that commanded. And a smile that absolutely dazzled.
At the end of the night, we made our way to a lounge and stole glances at each other across the table. He continued to be very intentional about the way he took me in like I was the glass of water his thirst called for. It was the same one I held in mine. The desire I felt there was too hot to look away. But logic would override my lust that night as we parted ways and he wished me a happy birthday and thanked me for joining him at his. He was too damn young. Little did I know, it was a prelude to our relationship.
I was willing to allow the idea of him to remain a fantasy of what could never be until a couple of days later, I found myself on his couch with his lips at my neck, alternating between kisses and soft bites. I learned what it was that day. I wanted him, but it was more than that. He made me feel desired, like I was the sexiest thing he'd ever laid eyes on. It felt specific and genuine in a way that I didn't know my confidence or my ego needed, but it did.
He kissed me with hunger, and although I wanted to back away from him for the age difference alone, it was something I hadn't experienced in so long. I valued myself and felt valued by other men since my ex for my mind, for my creative, maybe even for my heart – but he added another layer to the wholeness that escaped me. I wanted him because he made me feel wanted.
High as f*ck, hot as f*ck, horny as f*ck – hours later, we made our way upstairs to his bedroom to surrender to the tease we had created for one another.
It was such a turn-on to experience the effect I had on him. I felt so powerful as I took him into my mouth, sucking him into oblivion. He gripped the sheets so hard, arching up into me. He returned the favor, slipping on protection and then entering me. We sighed into each other's mouths, a deep exhale, expletives on our tongues. Sex with him was like letting go. Each thrust was the culmination of gaining something new: relaxation, surrender, rebirth, renewal. It was an awakening and in the wake of being dormant for so long, I was reminded of what it was like to feel alive.
When he orgasmed, it was like music to my ears – the most intoxicating sound. We made out afterwards for what felt like hours before he had enough and decided he wanted more. I giggled to myself. It's quickly become one of my favorite things about him – aside from how womanly he makes me feel – even in moments where he comes too quick, it's made up to me by a second, third, and sometimes fourth round of lovemaking. He's as insatiable as I am.
In the early hours of the morning, he tightens his embrace around me and brings me in closer to him to kiss my back, my neck. He slips his hands between my thighs in effort to initiate wetness where there's warmth. I writhe against him and he breathes against me in anticipation. It isn't as urgent and it doesn't demand. It's a slow dance that builds purposefully into a crescendo of completion. Sometimes we finish together, profuse sweating and heavy breathing. Other times, I finish alone and he taps out involuntarily. We touch ourselves while holding onto our gazes and I come again as I watch him make himself come for me.
The relationship between the two of us has quickly turned into a relationship of convenience with the only strings attached being a couple of guidelines we laid out: open communication and having respect for the other's health. I think he's drawn to me because of the enigma and I'm drawn to him for the thrill. We have a fun, easy-going vibe, have conversations about everything underneath the sun, and overall just have an understanding:
We know what it is, what it isn't, and what it will never be.
One thing's for certain, he has reminded me of who I am during a time where I needed an extra voice and I will always appreciate him for that and for helping me to undo some of the damage I incurred from the man before him. There is an absence of expectation – other than the ones that derive from our mutual pleasure.
We just are.
And whenever I feel a familiar ache between my thighs, I send him a quick text that reads: "Tonight?"
From there, he hits me back with says, "Come thru."
Happily, I oblige.

News Release 2012-108 | July 17, 2012
Donna Deale Named Deputy Comptroller for Thrift Supervision
WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced today that Donna Deale has been named Deputy Comptroller for Thrift Supervision.
In this role, Ms. Deale will report to the Senior Deputy Comptroller for Midsize and Community Bank Supervision and lead the OCC's ongoing effort to fully integrate the supervision of federal savings associations into its mission while ensuring a balanced, consistent interpretation and application of supervisory policies to the thrift industry.
"Donna brings deep experience supervising federal savings associations to this position," said Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry. "She will be a valuable member of the OCC leadership team as we complete the integration of overseeing federal savings associations. Her experience is an asset to the agency and to the thrift industry."
Ms. Deale began her regulatory career with the Federal Home Loan Bank Board in 1986 and transitioned to the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) when it was established in 1989. She worked closely with OTS executives in Washington and regional managers, and represented the OTS on a variety of interagency working groups. Her most recent position at the OTS was Director, Holding Companies and International Activities. Prior to that, she served as the Assistant Managing Director for Examinations and Supervision, with responsibility for leading the development and implementation of policies relating to capital, credit risk, corporate governance, accounting, compliance, the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering, trust, thrift holding companies, insurance activities, and information technology.
When Ms. Deale transferred to the OCC last year, she joined the Chief National Bank Examiner's Office as a Senior Operations Risk Expert. In that role, she provided critical leadership to the effort to integrate OCC and OTS supervision policies, while accommodating the regulatory and statutory differences that are unique to the thrift industry.
Ms. Deale earned a bachelor of science degree in business administration and a master of business administration from the University of Maryland.

In fact, I'm hoping that this review will serve as a means of kicking me in the rear and getting me writing on a regular schedule again. While I had hoped that I would find motivation sooner in the month so as to provide you, my hypothetical reader, with a return to the month-long series of Halloween reviews, as the old saying goes, "Better late than never."

Based on The Addams Family comics by Charles Addams
"And you thought your family was weird! Meet… the Addams Family!"
… You can practically imagine what kind of crappy trailer and taglines could be written for this film adaptation of Charles Addams' comic strip. Released on the same day as Disney's Beauty and the Beast, though the film is undoubtedly going for a different audience, it's still impressive that the film was as successful as it was, given that fact. Critics generally enjoyed it, audiences loved it (forking over $191.5 million worldwide against a $30 million budget), and the film led to a resurgence in the brand, spawning an acclaimed sequel, an animated series, and – heck – even one of the most successful pinball machines ever made. Heck, it was even Barry Sonnenfeld's first film as director, leading to such acclaimed hits as Men in Black, Get Shorty, and… Wild Wild West… Nine Lives… Well, you can't win 'em all, but still.

Well, they talk now… Or, at least, Wicket does. And by "talk," I of course mean "speaks English" – or, if you will, "speaks Galactic basic" – rather than just Ewokese. Released a year after the first Ewok-starring Star Wars spinoff, Caravan of Courage, and set months after the events of that film, The Battle for Endor sees the friendship between Cindel Towani and Wicket the Ewok blossoming, to the point where Cindel's lessons from the first film have apparently paid off. But, sadly, the Towanis have also made progress in repairing their star cruiser since being rescued from the Gorax by Cindel, her brother Mace, and the Ewoks, and so it's almost time for them to go back home and say good-bye to their furry friends.

Originally known as: The Ewok Adventure
What happens when you've seemingly brought an end to one of the most profitable film sagas, and yet you still want to make money off of the property in a similar medium? Why, you make a spin-off, of course! Return of the Jedi had brought the original film trilogy to a close on its release on May 25, 1983, but George Lucas was obviously far from finished with the series, despite this. (And who can complain, really?) Even before the concept of the prequel trilogy was thought up, and well before Disney's acquisition and foray into the sequels and their own spinoffs, there were already plans to expand the series beyond the core films and even into the realm of television – just, you know, not in the form of a variety show. The Star Wars Holiday Special was considered to be an embarrassment by almost all involved, including George Lucas. So when this project began to move forward, Lucas ensured he had full creative control. Read more…

I really don't know how to start off this review. With the whole ridiculous "controversy" surrounding this movie for its leads being "gender swaps" of the original actors, not to mention the subsequent fears of sounding like a misogynist for not liking the trailers (and misogynists fearing being called out for being one while still giving their misogynist opinions on it), I'm fairly certain that Ghostbusters surpassed even Batman v Superman and the whole Ben Affleck casting in terms of the absurd levels of stigmatization surrounding it. For a reviewer, it's pretty hard to even begin reviewing this film without addressing it, and if you happen to not like it, I can only imagine it's even harder to articulate your thoughts without them being twisted, misconstrued, or misworded into something that someone somewhere would take offense at. I know – I'm a man, and I'm reviewing this movie. In fact, every time I thought about how I was going to review this movie, I hated the fact that I felt that I had to work the review around this controversy, even as someone who personally could not have given any damns about the casting because I had absolutely no problems with it nor the particular women that were cast. "God help me," I thought, "if I don't end up liking this movie." Lucky me, I did.
For the most part. Read more…

I've long held that the first Independence Day was one of the best bad movies ever made. Of course, as a kid, I thought the movie was genuinely one of the best movies ever made, and it was the first movie I was able to convince my parents to let me see multiple times while it was still in theatres. As time went on, the flaws and eccentricities of Roland Emmerich's ridiculous alien invasion movie became much more apparent, of course. However, what became even more apparent was that I still undoubtedly loved the movie, often more because of its quirks rather than in spite of them. The cast that was assembled for that movie was seriously stellar: Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner… And that scene where the aliens finally unleash their ultimate weapon remains one of the standout special effects moments I've ever seen. Sure, it's obviously an effect, but I recall watching the special effects feature on the DVD and being completely in awe of just how much care went into making those scenes. (Did you know they built model cities, tipped them on their side, and then launched the flames upward to get those destructive effects?) Read more…

REVIEW: Batman: The Movie
July 30, 2015 CJ Stewart	1 comment
Directed by: Leslie H. Martinson
Produced by: William Dozier
Written by: Lorenzo Semple, Jr.
Edited by: Harry Gerstad
Cinematography by: Howard Schwarts
Music by: Nelson Riddle, Neal Hefti (theme)
Starring: Adam West, Burt Ward, Lee Meriwether, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin, Alan Napier, Neil Hamilton, Stafford Repp, Madge Blake, Reginald Denny, Milton Frome, Gil Perkins, Dick Crockett, George Sawaya, Van Williams
Based on the DC Comics character created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger and the TV series created by William Dozier
Confession time: Though it is one of my earliest memories of being at a theatrical showing, Batman Returns was not my first exposure to Batman. There was already a lot of love for Batman instilled in me by that point. Part of that was likely due to Tim Burton's first film, but, honestly, it was far more likely that I was introduced to the Dark Knight in the form of the campy Caped Crusader portrayed in in the 1960s TV series starring Adam West. As a little kid, I didn't quite understand that the series was essentially a satire of the comics and serials rather than a serious attempt to adapt the character to television. When I was finally exposed to the darker, grittier stuff, I pretty much thought it was silly because it was old, and older stuff was always sillier! Why else would they release all those ridiculous musicals back then that my mom enjoyed so much, right? With age, of course, I did catch on, and after getting over an initial feeling of betrayal that came with the understanding that the show was poking fun at my favorite superhero (and, by association, me), I also came to embrace the series for what it was.

Indian Institute of Science (IISc) researchers have found a novel way to recycle the mounting pile of electronic waste more efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner. According to the United National Environmental Programme, about 50 million tonnes of e-waste is generated annually across the world. The new approach is based on the idea of crushing e-waste into nanosize particles using a ball mill at very low temperature ranging from -50 to -150 degree C.


I read a fascinating piece from the Wall Street Journal this week (thank you, Don Wilson)—"ISIS Is Guilty of Anti-Christian Genocide" (2-12-16 A11). Written by Bishop Demetrios of Mokissos, chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago, the essay is a one-year anniversary reflection of the beheading of 21 Coptic Christians by Islamic State terrorists. "These Coptic Christian hostages were executed for no other reason than their faith in Jesus Christ. ISIS released a video of the barbarism with the title: 'A Message Signed With Blood to the Nations of the Cross'" (ibid).
The 21 men executed that day were itinerant tradesman [sic] working on a construction job. All were native Egyptians but one, a young African man whose identity is uncertain—reports of his name vary, and he was described as coming Chad or Ghana. But the power of his example is unshakable. The executioners demanded that each hostage identify his religious allegiance. Given the opportunity to deny their faith, under threat of death, the Egyptians declared their faith in Jesus. Steadfast in their belief even in the face of evil, each was beheaded.
Their compatriot was not a Christian when captured, apparently, but when challenged by the terrorists to declare his faith, he reportedly replied: 'Their God is my God.' The ISIS murderers seek to demoralize Christians with acts like the slaughter on a Libyan beach. Instead they stir our wonder at the courage and devotion inspired by God's love" (ibid).
Jesus, the ultimate divine Savior Martyr, once intoned: "'If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it'" Mark 8:34, 35.
The Greek word, martus, from whence comes our word "martyr," means "witness." As with these 21 men, martyrs are those who give the ultimate witness by their death. But these words from Jesus do not command our martyrdom. Rather they summon from us a bold, unflinching witness to Christ's lordship in our daily living. The kind of living Dietrich Bonhoeffer described, "When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die" (The Cost of Discipleship 99).
Which can mean: Come and die to social conformity or popularity—come and die to financial success or personal gain—come and die to professional reputation—come and die to the Devil's Faustian bargain—come and die to self-advancement or self-preservation—come and die—period.
Because in the scarlet shadow of the cross, the greatest crucible is not dying—it is living—and therein lies our martyrdom.


After a period of four months in public beta, the cloud computing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) from Pagoda Box has officially exited its beta stage. The developers behind this project chose the ZendCon PHP conference in Santa Clara to announce this newly upgraded multi-node, multi-tenant, scalable infrastructure.
According to community ambassador Scott Anderson, "We aimed to put developers at the center of the online universe. Our new infrastructure and dashboard delivers the hosting workflow that does just that." Anderson also states that there are now two versions of Pagoda Box running concurrently, i.e. pagodabox.com and newpagodabox.com as two separate offerings.
Somewhat unusually, the Pagoda Box platform has been built with no external funding. "We felt we couldn't compromise the infrastructure to meet business objectives," said Anderson. "We just wanted to provide the best tools for developers."
Pagoda Box works by automating the creation of a scalable cloud environment, fronted by a highly concurrent Erlang routing layer. This infrastructure is core to Pagoda Box's advantages. Instant scalability across components like web, caching, writable storage, and databases, plus deep component analytics and granular pricing, are derived from the underlying architecture. Everything is packaged through command-line client and intuitive dashboard controls.
Pagoda Box sets out to provide scalable, redundant PHP cloud hosting. Features include web application, multiple database support, SSL, storage, logs, and analytics. These services are ordered, controlled, and managed through both a command-line client, and a web dashboard. Pagoda Box also consolidates all of a site's component controls. They provide built-in, real-time analytics to monitor and control app components from a single page, rather than relying on third-party service providers.


Not that I'll be able to help much with your question, but what sorts of performance do you care about? Sage has many components, and different ones (like ATLAS, for example), may be tuned better or worse depending on the particular cpu, etc. So providing more specific information may help you get a better answer.
Is this a laptop you are talking about? If so, go with the Mac. But if you will mostly be using the machine remotely then it probably gives more bang for the buck to put linux on generic hardware.
To get a better answer I think you'd have to describe what sort of tasks cause bottlenecks in your workflow.
For the components that John mentioned in his above comment (e.g. ATLAS) you may want to visit their forums to see what users have to say about inter-platform performance. (A good place to start is, for example, ATLAS' FAQ page.) Some may be better tuned for certain systems and since these packages form the core fo Sage it may be educational to investigate.
As far as I know, Python performance doesn't really vary from platform to platform. Also, it seems like there's an even divide between Linux and OS X users among Sage developers so if there are any glaring performance issues with Sage code I'm sure they would've been caught.
Finally, for usability purposes, I agree with mhampton: Linux boxes are easier (and cheaper) to set up for remote access. Macs tend to have fewer issues and a somewhat more stable environment.

The Ugly Holdout: Oregon and Its Support of Non-Unanimous Jury Verdicts
ShellyGraham | December 3, 2018| Article & News
By Zach Walsh
Attorney, McKean Smith, LLC
After voters decided to eliminate non-unanimous jury verdicts in Louisiana, another discussion regarding the efficacy and overhaul of Oregon's non-unanimous jury verdict system has begun. The potential overhaul of the jury verdict system could be the state's most significant criminal justice reform in decades.
Oregon's majority leader, Jennifer Williamson, announced Democrats will pursue scrapping the state's highly unusual jury system during the next legislative session.
In 2019, the Democratic caucus plans to introduce two bills to topple Oregon's non-unanimous jury verdict system. The first bill fixes the law that allows convictions based on non-unanimous jury verdicts in most felony cases. The second bill sends the issue to voters, who can decide whether to rescind the amendment in the state constitution allowing non-unanimous jury verdicts.
Currently, the federal government and every state, except Oregon, require a 12-0 verdict in most felony cases. Oregon only needs a unanimous jury verdict to find defendants guilty of murder.
How did non-unanimous jury verdicts start in Oregon?
Like Oregon's jury verdict system, Louisiana enacted their former jury verdict system in 1898 to diminish the influence of minority jurors, mainly African Americans. Until it was overturned, Louisiana's jury verdict system was a pillar of the Jim Crow South.
In 1934, Oregon's non-unanimous jury verdict system was enacted by voters after a widely covered murder trial resulted in a sole juror refusing to find a Jewish defendant, Jake Silverman, guilty of murder and instead manslaughter. As a result, he received a significantly lighter sentence of three years in prison.
Silverman's acquittal on the murder charge brought with it disdain and racist attacks on ethnic jurors and unanimous jury verdicts from the now-defunct Oregon newspaper publication, The Morning Oregonian.
Oregonian reporter, Shane Dixon Kavanaugh, writes "The Morning Oregonian, which railed against the juror in an editorial tinged with racist undertones and nativist fervor. 'This newspaper's opinion is that the increased urbanization of American life … and the vast immigration into America from southern and eastern Europe, of people untrained in the jury system, have combined to make the jury of twelve increasingly unwieldy and unsatisfactory," it wrote on Nov. 25, 1933.'"
According to Kavanaugh's article, this wasn't the first time the newspaper criticized ethnic jurors. Kavanaugh writes, in prior editorials, the newspaper referred to ethnic jurors as "mixed blood" and "lamented the role that some immigrants played on juries, questioning their 'sense of responsibility' and 'views on crime and punishment.'"
What do prosecutors have to say about it?
This year, the Oregon District Attorney Association or "ODAA," the powerful professional organization for state prosecutors, considered leading a ballot initiative to repeal the state's jury verdict system. However, ODAA abandoned the effort.
However, several powerful organizations and politicians remain vocally supportive of ending non-unanimous jury verdicts, including Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, Multnomah County District Attorney Rod Underhill, Benton County District Attorney John Haroldson, Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel, the Office of Public Defense Services, and the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.
Opposition to repeal is still strong amongst Oregon prosecutors, including Clatsop County District Attorney Josh Marquis, Tillamook County District Attorney William Porter, and Jefferson County District Attorney Steve Leriche. Writing in a co-authored November 17th Oregonian op-ed, the three district attorneys criticize Hummel for calling non-unanimous jury verdicts racist. The prosecutors write, "if he thinks our current law is racist, has he ordered his prosecutors to insist upon unanimous jury trials in all cases?"
Oregon's prosecutors supporting non-unanimous jury verdicts raise an interesting point. Why haven't they?
Oregon's current jury system disadvantages thousands of Oregonians. According to a study conducted by the Oregon Office of Public Defense Services Appellate Division, 65.5% of felony jury verdicts were non-unanimous on at least one count. Arrests, convictions, and even the appearance of criminal history have a devastating impact on job seekers, college or university applicants, housing applicants, renters, persons seeking state and federal benefits, and undocumented immigrants and their families seeking pathways to citizenship.
Former Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge and current Oregon Court of Appeals Judge Bronson James wrote in his State v. Williams trial court decision, "Oregon's non-unanimous jury provision says that 'ten members may render a verdict of guilty or not guilty.' It is permissive, not mandatory. Parties can mutually consent to try a criminal case to unanimity."
In October, the Oregon Court of Appeals heard oral argument on this matter, and it is currently under advisement.
While thousands of defendants, including Oregonians, non-Oregonians, and undocumented immigrants, charged with felonies await trials on cases where they could be convicted by non-unanimous jury verdicts, it is unclear when and how a decision on the abolishment of non-unanimous jury verdicts will occur.

Q&A with Nick Doshi of Doshi Audio
Neil Gader
| Dec 21st, 2018
Tubed power amplifiers,
Tubed preamplifiers,
Phonostages
What ignited your interest in the high end? Did it come from the music side or the electronics side?
Both, actually: I was fortunate to have music-loving parents who played instruments and immersed me in Eastern as well as Western Classical music. Growing up in a musical household sparked my interest in sound reproduction and inspired me to study audio electronics.
When did audio develop from a hobby to a career?
Audio has always been my profession, as well as my passion. In college, I prepared for a career in broadcast radio and television. I spent twenty years running a number of stations and developed my first two generations of high-end products while working in professional audio. In 2015, I devoted all of my energies to Doshi Audio.
What education did you receive?
My undergraduate degree is in Physics with post-graduate work in EE as well as RF transmitters and antenna systems. I also earned a degree in audio recording from the Institute of Audio Research.
How do you define the difference between hi-fi and high-end audio?
High-end audio is the experience of being intellectually and emotionally connected to a piece of music through the conduit of an audio system. If your system inspires you to listen for more than an hour at a time, it transcends hi-fi and becomes high end.
Analog or digital—do you have a preference and why?
No preference. I've heard amazing recordings in both formats. A competently designed piece of gear, installed in a thoughtfully designed system, should be able to present the best qualities of any format.
How would you describe your company philosophy?
Doshi Audio designs and manufactures components that provide the greatest possible connection to the original musical event. No single technology can deliver the best performance in every circumstance; rather, the Doshi design philosophy compels us to utilize whatever topology works best in a given application. For example, our line preamplifier employs a transformer-coupled volume control, our new stereo amplifier uses a JFET input and vacuum-tube output, while our soon-to-be-released headphone amplifier is pure solid-state.
What is the greatest misunderstanding people have about your components?
Our name sounds Japanese (laughs). Seriously, consumers tend to think of us as a tube electronics company: a reasonable assumption given that most of our products employ vacuum-tube circuitry. Actually, we use whatever device provides the best performance, tubes or otherwise. By the way, Doshi is an Indian name, and I'm from Bombay!
What fact or aspect about Doshi Audio might surprise audiophiles?
That our home state of Virginia is one of the best places on earth to build audio gear. Our "Beltway" location provides access to a wealth of high-tech defense contractors. Various parts of our products are built in the same factories, to the same uncompromising standards, as state-of-the-art military hardware. When your subassemblies are responsible for the life and death of our soldiers, high-end audio is easy!
What's the "trick" to being successful in the high-end audio business?
For Doshi, success comes from dedication, tenacity, and hard work. I think you need great empathy for your customers, which means you not only make the best-sounding products; you also ensure than those products fulfill every customer expectation: reliability, build-quality, user-friendliness, and aesthetics, as well as sonics. It's also essential to find collaborators who share your philosophy. At Doshi, we work with craftsmen, sales and marketing professionals, and dealers who understand and share our mission.
What are the greatest challenges confronting the high end?
It is not enough to make great-sounding products. Today's customer also demands a high level of control and connectivity. The sooner we develop open platforms that allow diverse manufacturers to work with each other with respect to control and user-interface offerings, the easier it will be for customers to embrace high-end audio.
Running Doshi Audio consumes almost every waking moment; however, I love entertaining, cooking with friends, reading, and playing tennis…badly. Fortunately, my love affair with music is stronger than ever, so, except for family and friends, my career is also my greatest source of pleasure.

Often overlooked for the Channel Islands and other larger and more visited Californian islands, Balboa Island and Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach are two places anyone in SoCal should visit at least once. Even if you are a tourist spending a few days in the Greater L.A. Area, a visit to Balboa Island can be a rewarding side-trip. Named after Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa, this resort island has endless of options for fun water activities, great sight seeing, or just experiencing the island atmosphere and natural beauty. You can visit the island by ferry or by driving on Jamboree Road, or take the ferry from Balboa Peninsula (Balboa Island Ferry). As the island is best experienced by foot, and has limited street parking for visitors, we always recommend that clients travel here by the affordable $1 ferries instead of driving onto the island itself. One of Balboa's main attractions is understandably the amazing architecture on the many beautiful little cottages found here. Now multimillion-dollar homes and vacation homes, it is funny to think that these cottages once sold for under $300 in the 1920's! Balboa Peninsula, which was created as a mistake in the early 1930's, is now home to some of the best beaches in Orange County as well as the Balboa Pavilion & Fun Zone. Whether do dine on one of the great restaurants, stroll down the quaint tiny roads, check out the famous landmarks, lay on the beach, rent a beach house, or any other reason for visiting Balboa – contact us for your transportation today. Many of our clients love to go here for recreational activities such as kayaking, surfing, jet-skiing, whale-watching and much, much more. Along the island's main street, Marine Avenue, people come to window-shop, check out the cool little stores, cafés and bars. Do not forget to try out the island's signature Balboa Bar ice cream and shave ice! Balboa has one of the highest population densities in the country, even higher than San Francisco, and has some of the most expensive real estate prices – real estate prices are even higher than on Manhattan!
The options for activities at Balboa are endless. You can for instance go parasailing over the Pacific with Balboa Parasail or jet-skiing with Balboa Water Sports. Another favorite among many renting an LA limo service is to head here for one of the great whale watching excursions. Companies such as Davey's Locker Sportfishing & Whale Watching and Balboa Newport Landing Whale Watching offer great whale-watching excursions from the Newport Harbor. Want to rent a boat, head to Duffy Boat Rental! Prefer a chauffeured boat to on an ocean adventure? Check out Newport Coastal Adventure. And for paddling or kayaking, head to the Island Paddle Board or Balboa Surf & Style. Maybe the most popular for those traveling with children is to visit the Fun Zone on the Balboa Peninsula. The Balboa Fun Zone is home to several rollercoaster rides, cotton candy vendors, and everything else you'd find at a carnival. The nearby ExplorOcean museum is a great educational experience for children as well as adults. One of the island's many famous landmarks in the St. John Vianney Chapel, which is located on the main street, Marine Avenue. This beautiful tiny chapel is a charming architecturally piece of art. Another popular activity for families is to pay a visit to Our Gang's General Store to check out the unique toys, as well as the Marina Park playground. We transfer not only a lot of LAX sedan customers to Balboa, but because of its close proximity to the John Wayne Airport also a significant amount of people from John Wayne.
A landmark worth checking out is the Balboa Pavilion. Constructed in 1906, the Pavilion is a California Historical Landmark and on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It is currently functioning as the terminal for passenger- and whale-watching cruises. While on the Balboa Peninsula, grab a bite at the original O.C. Ruby's Diner on the Balboa Pier! Also on the peninsula is the famous Crab Cooker, a favorite for many who enjoy seafood. Established in the early 1950's, it has been ranked as one of the world best restaurants by the Venture Magazine and has also been featured in the television series the O.C., where the restaurant is referred to as the Crab Shack. To see today's fresh seafood being unloaded from the dock, head to the Dory Fish Market, a historical landmark dating back to the early 1890's! For a historic landmark, many Los Angeles limousine riders have talked about the Lovell Beach House as the most iconic Balboa house. More interested in beaching, surfing and other ocean activities? The Wedge on the peninsula is a tremendously popular surfing spot, while all of the peninsula is recognized for its pristine beaches. Didn't make it on a Malibu wine tour? Check out the Balboa Island Wine Walk! Two 1920's landmarks worth checking out include the Balboa Theater and the Balboa Inn.
Wanna spend the night here but cannot afford a vacation home rental? You are not alone! While there are no hotels on the island per say, there are numerous hotels in surrounding areas, including on the Balboa Peninsula. Here many prefer staying at the Balboa Fun Zone to ride the ferris wheel and other rides. There are also many eateries, cafés and souvenir shops in the Fun Zone area. At the nearby Newport Harbor Nautical Museum you can see exhibits on the Pacific Ocean and California waters. You can for instance see ship models dating to the late 1790's, or check out the tanks with various native species found in the waters off California. Two nearby hotels worth checking out if you are looking for accommodation are the Island Hotel and the Newport Beach Marriot Hotel & Spa. Looking for a snack, drink or restaurant? Head to Sugar & Spice for the original Balboa Bar chocolate ice-cream! Disappointed you never made the Malibu wine tour? Let's head to Basilic for a delicious meal and great red-wine to accompany the steak, turkey or dish of choice. For a delicious breakfast, get a Los Angeles limousine and head to Wilma's Patio for a great egg- or omelet dish. Looking for a place to enjoy an evening cocktail? Head to the Village Inn for great live entertainment and a drink of choice. Remember to go by Dad's Donut & Bakery to pick up a delicious chocolate banana to bring home.
With its luxury housing and secluded character, many celebrities have found their home on Balboa. While Chuck Norris once owned a restaurant here, John Wayne bodysurfed here during summers. Visitors include everyone from Frank Sinatra, Richard Nixon, as well as Nancy- and Ronald Reagan. LA limo service clients have made us aware of the many movies filmed here, including Shadows (1922), To Have and Have Not (1944), The Breaking Point (1950), and many more. Whether you are looking for an LAX sedan to get here from the airport, or maybe a party bus to get into LA from Balboa, we can help you! On Balboa, don't forget checking out the outstanding two-mile Island Boardwalk to see the boat parade and scenic views. For art lovers, the Balboa Island Artwalk is an annual happening drawing over a hundred artists for live music, painting exhibits, custom-made jewelries, and much more. For a signature Balboa shopping experience, see the selection of unique oil products and more at the Olive Oil & Beyond, the ideal place to find gifts for Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. With just 0.2 square miles and about 3,000 inhabitants, Balboa is a small island which is easy to navigate, discover, and enjoy! Bon voyage!

This is the widest - 210cm - aerodynamic awning, installed on the large catamarans TRAVEL-MAX in the stern of the cockpit from the transom. This canopy can also be installed on any large boat, with a width of 180cm to 240cm. It should be noted that for this design it is the maximum width. Even larger width will require pipes of larger diameter and other fittings.
This tent is running and can withstand high-speed and wind loads. In the folded state, it can be put on the boat, like all conventional awnings, and can be left in a vertical position in the form of a radar arch, as on boats or RIBs. Looks very stylish. With the awning, the boat immediately becomes a step higher both in appearance and comfort. In addition, it can be installed running and parking lights, as well as cockpit lighting and fishing.
Awning perfectly protects from the scorching sun and creates a cool on a hot day, while it does not interfere with trolling, rowing and review - in the field of your vision, only the roof of the awning and the two front stretches. Thanks to the flat horizontal line formed by PVC fabric, the canopy has a minimum wind resistance, so even with a strong side wind, the boat keeps course stability. PVC fabric does not get wet at all. Therefore, you will remain dry even in heavy rain. Of course, if it is without a strong wind or go at low speed. Fishermen will especially appreciate the speed of assembly-disassembly, as well as the increased comfort that is created by the tent on the boat. By the way, at night the dew under the awning does not fall out. All this allows you to have fun not only from fishing in any weather, but also just enjoy the rest on the water.
"Having any model of BOATHOUSE - you live with pleasure"
1. Construction of aluminum pipes, diameter 20mm, connecting elements on bolts and rivets, and PVC fabric 140cm to 210cm - 1 pc.

Illustrations and Art Games I've made Linked In
Illustrations and art
Theese are some of my drawings, paintings, illustrations and whatnot.
Games, games, games!
Below are some of the games I've had the opportunity to work on, theese are truely amazing
Candy Crush Soda Saga Launch from The Engine Group on Vimeo.
Currently I am working as a SENIOR GAMES ARTIST for KING on the game Candy Crush Soda. I LOVE IT
I've worked at this game for over 4 years now, and I've been doing ALOT of things. So if you want to see things I've created, please install the game and have a play!
I even made it into the game lol! This charachter is created by my friend Dan Oprea
I love you unmechanical! I really do!
It started out small scale at Futuregames as a student project. Ended up at SGA and got an honorary mention (WOW!). It later made its way into steam, into the iOS, into Andriod and now into PS4
The game itself is a 2,5D puzzler with no text or speech narrative, minimal hints and no modern hand-holding bull-crap! good job designers
3D Modedivng (creating props, rocks, doors, machines and lots and lots of other models)
Texturing (created the textures for the models I made)
Animation (animating the charachters in some ways as well)
Rigging (Created the rig for the "janitor"-charachter as well as some of the animated props)
Sculpting (There is a gnarly and creepy worm-monster-thing... sculpted by me)
It's absolutely adorable, damned smart, and well worth your time . . . a near-perfect morsel of puzzling brilliance.
The experience is tinted with shades of both Machinarium and Portal." " The end result is a game that's both adorable and mysterious.
You might say that I'm impressed by Unmechanical, and you'd be right. - 9/10
Inc Gamers
The first of Pettson's inventions series!
"Pettson & Findus" are huge, i mean HUGE, in sweden. They fill up a big portion of my childhood, and I've loved them since my parents read the stories to me as a child. A big part of why I loved the books so much are the absolutely stunning illustrations by author Sven Nordqvist. This IP is also the sole reason I decided to hammer my way into "Filimundus" who makes the games.
I was an artist making assets for this game and a huge challenge was having to adapt strictly to the draw style of original artist mr. Nordqvist. It was tricky to say the least, since he only works in water color and ink, and i only work in Photoshop. After a few experiments and trials and errors I came up with a process that worked. A lovely memory is when he visited one day and could tell the difference between an object he'd drawn and an object I'd drawn. Success!
My role:
Artist.
Creating levels in Unity.
Leveldesign on a few of the levels.
"PETTSON 2: Ressurection" or.. well.. no
Pettson & Findus inventions 2, a much more MORE cloning of Pettson 1. When I worked with the first in the series we were mimicing an old game released way back when your Pentium MMX was the hottest rig around, so our hands were a bit tied. In this new version we had no restraints, and this shows!
This game is epic! And it blew up in equal proportions all around the world. It became wildely popular amongst parents to younger kids, teachers and of course - the kids them selves!
I pushed hard for making the atmosphere more vivid in this game, incorporating more nature and environment into the scenes. This made the game feel so much more alive and including!
Input in the design process
Leveldesign on many levels.
Another famous swedish childrens book turned into a game
This game is about the crow "Kråkan" who stars in a number of books and movies for kids and is quite popular in Sweden. In this game he's on the hunt for goodies around the neighbourhood, such as Pommes Frites!
As with the Pettson & Findus games this presented the task of adapting my style to match with the original illustrators style. As usual - very fun, but quite challenging at first.
Repainting the entire level into night mode.
UI/UX design for icons and menu items
Ahh, this game... "Embrace"
This was done at my school Futuregames over 5 weeks. It's the story about a young child living in a remote village somewhere in the forest. It starts off with you waking up from a nap in the grass, and then you are presented with a few "interesting" things to do, such as spear throwing and the ability to hug and kick
The game has no narrative what so ever, so... no text, no speech, no nothing! There is however a story, told in the events happening around you!
This story is a dark and scary tale, and it paints the picture that it might be better to embrace eachother...

Chartered in 1946 as the nation's first national laboratory, Argonne enters the 21st century focused on solving the major scientific and engineering challenges of our time: sustainable energy, a clean environment, economic competitiveness and national security. Argonne is pursuing major research initiatives that support the U.S. Department of Energy's goals to create innovative and game-changing solutions to national problems, including state-of-the-art transportation research.
Presentation at the 93rd TRB Annual Meeting; January 2014 "Development of a Computational Approach to Detect Instability and Incipient Motion of Large RIPRAP Rocks"
Presentation at the 93rd TRB Annual Meeting; January 2014 "Evacuation Behavior Survey for No-Notice Emergency Scenarios"
How best to evacuate a major city? The Federal Transit Administration has awarded Argonne a $2.9 million grant to study methods and create tools for building more resilient mass transit systems to evacuate big cities in an emergency. Read the full story with audio/video clips.
General Phoenix Upgrade- On Monday, February 4, 2018, TRACC will be decommissioning the old Phoenix nodes. New faster nodes will be brought online on the cluster that we now refer to as Phoenix 2. Phoenix 2 will not only have faster nodes but will also run on a new file system and will run CentOS 7.4. This may require some minor changes to your programs to run properly, but will result in a much faster computing environment being available to you. Wally Nowakowski and Cezary Bojanowski will be available to help with this transition, and with testing on the new platform in advance of this transition between systems.
We will setup a reservation queue on Phoenix to prevent jobs running beyond the above deadline. For example, a job queued on February 3 with an expected run time of 2 days will not start execution at all. This approach will ensure that all jobs that had the opportunity to start during this time period will run to completion, but the remaining jobs will not be started at all and will have to be started on PHOENIX 2 after the transition. We do not expect a need to forcefully terminate jobs due to the transition between the systems. Once all jobs have completed and no new jobs are starting up, we will shut down access to the old PHOENIX system and transition the files to the new filesystem.
Users are encouraged to test their models/jobs on Phoenix 2 as soon as possible, ideally before the actual transition. Any of the changes made on the new Phoenix 2 file system made prior to the transition should be considered temporary and will be discarded as part of the transition. That means anything you did for testing on the new Phoenix 2 system (e.g. results from tests you are going to run in the next few weeks on the new hardware) will be wiped out and replaced with the production files that you had on the old Phoenix file system at the time of deactivation. If needed, specific arrangements can be made with Wally Nowakowski to retain specific folders on the new Phoenix 2 file system if reverting all data to the state of the old Phoenix system is a problem.
At this time, we have already transitioned your old Phoenix filesystem to the new machine at some point in the recent past, so when logging in, you will find many of your files as they were at that point in time (this may have been done a few months ago). We will use synchronization software to bring the filesystem up to data based on your final Phoenix 1 files, so we don't expect this to take very much time. While files are being transitioned, you may not be able to login to either of the two machines.
Again, if you feel that you need to coordinate any of these activities with Wally, please contact him ahead of time to make this a smooth transition.
